Working With Our Team

Transparency, integrity, and compassion are hallmarks of our practice. Together, we have helped hundreds of families, just like yours, achieve peace of mind by applying our experience to the confusing world of probate, wills, living trusts, irrevocable trusts, special needs trusts, Medicaid applications, and much, much more.

We fully believe in our ability to help you reach your estate planning goals, and we back our work with two guarantees:

  1. No Risk, Money Back Guarantee: If, before we deliver your plan documents, you are not satisfied with the services received, simply let us know that you are not satisfied, and we will refund 100% of your costs.
  2. One Business Day Call-Back Guarantee: If, before we deliver your plan documents, a firm employee does not return your phone call promptly (within one business day), we will refund your cost and complete your plan free of charge.

Fee Structure

You will never receive a surprise bill from Crain & Wooley. Our advanced planning will, trust, and Medicaid/nursing home application services are billed at a flat rate. The uncertain nature of probate, emergency Medicaid, and guardianship cases necessitates billing our reasonable hourly rate for those situations. View our flat rate and hourly service options!

  • "We are so grateful we did this."

    We had been wanting to do and understand a trust for a long time. Once we received the meeting invite, the rest was easy. We learned about wills and trusts in an understandable way. Justin and his team are organized, thorough, friendly and helpful. They coordinated and explained each step of the process. We are so grateful we did this. The cost was invaluable. Thank you for everything.

  • "Would Definitely Recommend Crain & Wooley"

    We attended a lunch seminar hosted by Shelly Joyner and her team to listen and learn more about our options with Trusts. Based on Shelly's presentation, examples, and knowledge of Trusts, we were sold on Crain & Wooley as the firm to prepare and manage our Trust.

    The Crain & Wooley process from start to finish was fast, efficient and very professional. Throughout the progression, both Shelly and Steve Crosby communicated, answered all our questions, and provided various trust documents through the portal for our review /comments.

    Would highly recommend the services of Crain & Wooley!!

  • "Made the Entire Process a Seamless Operation"

    Finding a law firm to assist me in creating a "Living Trust" was very confusing. After interviewing three law firms, I chose Crain & Wooley.

    They got back to me quickly after the initial consultation and made the entire process a seamless operation. 

    I highly recommend and will work with Shelly Joyner and Crain & Wiiley again in the future.

  • "We Felt Valued, Cared for and Appreciated"
    It was a pleasure working with Justin Crain, Shelly Joyner, Steve Crosby, and the entire staff at Crain and Wooley. From the moment we walked into their office, we felt valued, cared for and appreciated. Justin took the time to explain to us the benefits of creating a trust and patiently answered all of our questions. My wife and I particularly appreciated their educational emphasis. They provided us with videos and literature that deepened our understanding of the process and purpose of  creating a trust. We never felt any pressure during our meetings with them to purchase any legal products or services. They educated us, encouraged us to ask questions, and let us make our own decision. We did decide to create a living trust, and we are very pleased with the results.
